🍽️ Clarks Chapel Church of God Opens Food Pantry on Thursdays in Spencer

On the Cumberland Plateau in Van Buren County, Clarks Chapel Church of God is stepping up to meet a basic need in the Spencer community. The church has launched a food pantry to serve neighbors facing food insecurity, opening its doors every Thursday afternoon.

📍 Where and When to Find Help

The food pantry operates Thursdays from 3 to 6 p.m. at Clarks Chapel Church of God, located at 911 Sparta Street in Spencer. The church’s message is direct and welcoming: “If you are in need of food, we have a food pantry. Please do not go without. We are here to help.” 🤝

💡 What This Means for the Community

By opening its doors weekly, Clarks Chapel Church of God joins other local faith communities and organizations working to ensure no one in the area faces hunger alone. ❤️

The church’s commitment reflects a broader network of community support across Van Buren County and the surrounding region, where churches and nonprofits collaborate to strengthen local resilience and dignity.
